TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way is back for its second season, and Tim Clarkson’s journey to Colombia to win back his girlfriend Melyza has been one of the most captivating storylines. The couple’s relationship took a hit when Tim cheated on Melyza with a co-worker, and now he’s trying to mend their bond. But who is Tim Clarkson, and what don’t we know about him? Here are 10 intriguing facts about the 90 Day The Other Way star.
1. Texas Roots
Tim hails from the Dallas, Texas area, but it’s unclear whether he was born there or moved there later in life. Despite relocating to Colombia, Tim held onto his job in Texas as a safety net in case things didn’t work out with Melyza.
2. A Chance Encounter
Unlike many 90 Day Fiancé couples who meet online, Tim and Melyza’s love story began at a bar while Melyza was working in the United States as an au pair. Tim didn’t think she’d give him the time of day, but he took a chance and approached her, and the rest is history.
3. Social Media Stealth
While many reality stars capitalize on their fame, Tim seems uninterested in doing so. His Instagram account barely mentions the show, and he doesn’t post very often.
4. A Brush with the Law
Tim may appear sweet and innocent, but he’s had some legal troubles. A few years ago, he spent time in jail for driving under the influence, according to Cheat Sheet. This incident occurred after he and Melyza got together.
5. Still Going Strong?
The fate of Tim and Melyza’s relationship has been uncertain throughout the season. However, there are hints that they might still be together. They both follow each other on Instagram, and Tim shared a photo on Facebook in November 2020 that appears to show them together in a pool.
6. The Cheese Stick Moniker
Tim’s nickname, Cheese Stick, isn’t exactly cool or catchy. He revealed on the show that he likely got the nickname because he somewhat resembles a cheese stick.
7. A Possible Real Estate Connection
Tim’s job remains somewhat vague, but an old Facebook post suggests he may have worked in real estate. In 2016, he shared a post advertising an apartment for rent in Iowa, indicating he may have lived there at some point.
8. A Love for Animals
Tim is a proud pet parent who loves both dogs and cats. He even brought his beloved cat with him when he moved to Colombia.
9. A Private Life
Despite being on reality TV, Tim seems to be a very private person. There isn’t much information available about his life before the show.
10. No Acting Experience
Some viewers might think the drama on 90 Day Fiancé is staged, but as far as we can tell, Tim has no acting experience and has never been on TV outside of 90 Day The Other Way.
